Tiger Woods remains the top-ranked player and he was again followed by Adam
Scott, Henrik Stenson, Phil Mickelson and Justin Rose.

Zach Johnson and Rory McIlroy exchanged places with Johnson inching up to
sixth. Matt Kuchar held steady in eighth and was trailed again by Sergio
Garcia, Jason Day and Steve Stricker.

Dustin Johnson improved a pair to 12th and that pushed Ian Poulter and Jason
Dufner down one spot apiece to 13 and 14. Graeme McDowell moved up two to 15,
Jordan Spieth was 16th again and Brandt Snedeker tumbled two notches to 17th.

Charl Schwartzel, Webb Simpson and Luke Donald rounded out the top 20 again
this week.
